I think the reason why the first bird was in love with it's owner, was because the lady kept stroking it's back. That's how birds tell each other that they want to mate. Never pet your birds back, just pet around the head.
She is giving her bird the worst case of blue balls multiple times a day and she is wondering why he is self mutilating due to consistent frustrations.
oh wow! i did not know that at all! :O damn.. yea this type of information should really be given at pet stores and clinics like a brochure or something would be nice. Seriously though. I'm still shocked right now lmao
@@fabujestici dont know. i honestly dont know. like what viable answer would she have to this question? that poor eccie deserves a better home. i dont trust that shell follow what chris told her to do for long. i hope the bird is still alive, and gets rehomed to someone who knows how to take care of a bird. especially eclectuses. theres not a single excuse for her to give her bird alcohol. i wish everyone would just do their research before getting a pet, but i think thats just asking too much. so many birds are impulsively bought (especially budgies) and then the people who bought them just wanna get rid of them because theyre too much work. poor animals.
I'll never forget when I was about 5 I went to a zoo and got an icecream cone....went and stood in front of the emu exhibit (there was a fence) I had my back turned to the emu to have my picture taken and the emu stuck his head thru the fence and stole my icecream cone!! My parents laughed.....I cried...and didn't get another icecream cone :'( my family still brings it up to this day...I'm 28 now lol 😂
Emily, we share the same name and I got pissed on by an ostrich during a school presentation by the local zoo when I was 5 or 6. I just turned 40. I feel you sis. Some scars last forever
Hello beautiful 🌹🌷 How are you doing today, I always enjoy what you share here on RUclips and I will love to be good friends with you, it's my Pleasure if you accept my friendship. Thanks and God bless you.
You do know thats not all In one day, yes? Pretty sure the amount of food is okay, since the bird doesn't look obese or even really fat at all, the issue is the food he is getting. Too much fat etc. It's gonna make his liver wayyyy too fatty
It's not so much the amount of food, but the quality. Half his diet should be veggies plus pellets for large parrots, and I didn't see a single veg there, not even a leaf. She's killing his liver slowly and surely.
@@specialbudgies4217 agree. I have 2 budgies who only get seed and pellets for dinner , rest of the day is fruits and veggies , spray millet as a treat . I can't believe that birds diet ...
@@aleesha5579 Seed is ok for a Budgies the diet you are making for your budgies is actually perfect. Ecelectus have a quite a different digestive system to other parrots im sure you know? its longer... meaning any fats or proteins are held longer in the body. Vitamins need to be naturally provided, and they are picky so you need to be aware of there needs. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Eclectus an amazing boy. But the diet, is the downfall of Eclectus and ignorance to the needs of that.
As someone who cleans pools for a living, I gotta say it's quite funny to see duckling wrangling on tv!!!!! Every spring we have to catch ducklings out of pools and the submarine ducklings are the funniest. When it's a well maintained pool and the water is crystal clear you can see them zip around underwater and they get so confused when you're there to catch em when they come up!!!! Its even more hilarious when you catch em underwater cuz they are like "HOW DID YOU FIND ME I WAS INVISIBLE!!!!!" 😆😂😂😂
Ahaa, totally! We rescued a duckling when I was a little girl, she was only a day or two after hatching and the lady wanted to just dump her to the local victorian style zoo with the adult ducks, so of course we took her in. We were worried that the clorine in the pool was not suitable for a tiny creature, so when the time came for Kate (I'm awesome with duck names, I know) to learn to swim we took her outside in a large laundry basket full of water. At first she was afraid of the water, but after a few dips, she went bananas. One moment she was here, splashing about, the next she was speeding towards the pool with me covered in water. Pretty sure my mum still has a photo of me drenched and a tiny yellow dot in the background. She had the time of her life in the pool, and I was really excited every time she zoom underwater, it was impressive, but we never took her out again. We've got hawks here, giant magpies and other amazing wildlife that wants to eat your pets (only this summer a kestrel attacked my budgies, thank goodness I was only a foot away to shoo it away). Finally we gave her to the park she was going to be dumped in, but only after she was an adult and could take care of herself. We'd visit often to see her, it was easy to find her because she had some black markings on her beak and she was the only duck that approached us not to beg for food but cuddles! Oh I miss Katie.
@@specialbudgies4217 yeah the chlorine is bad for ducklings, but the reason pools are primarily bad for them is because they can hop in but can't hop out and eventually get too exhausted to swim anymore. They can also get sucked into the skimmer and get stuck which is very sad because it can be fatal. That's why we always try to catch and release ducklings away from pools and discourage ducks from swimming in pools. That sounds really sweet that you rescued a duckling as a child! I'm happy you got that experience to raise her so she could be a happy duck 😊
Wouldn't it have been quicker and less stressful for the ducklings to quickly scoop them up in a net instead of stalking them like prey? And why separate the mother duck from her babies instead of putting them all in one carrier? They must have been terrified.
The bird OBVIOUSLY FEELS THE WOMAN IS HIS MATE. AND HE’S STRESSING HIM OUT SO BAD WITH HIS PRESENCE AND REACTIONS THAT THE BIRD IS IN EMOTIONAL TURMOIL.
Sad when pet parents are so oblivious. “I know I spoil him but I can’t help it.. I love him!” “Spoiling” is actually just a nicer way of saying “killing faster” 😔
@@OGimouse1 the problem is that the owners was sexually frustrating their bird and given him an extremely bad diet. Ekkies are really sensitive to a fatty diet, more that other parrots. They need a low fat diet and all she gave him was carbs and fats. She is not spoiling him with that diet. That bird is not gonna feel very good and probably have many internal problems already that can only get fixed with a healthy diet. I personally experience a lot that when people say they are spoiling their pet, they are feeding them a bad diet or too much and causing the animal a lot of health problems. Spoiling shouldn’t equal bad pet care, but sadly it often does.
Often spoiling is a side affect of a lazy pet owner. It's easy to keep a pet occupied with treats. I have a Lab and of course their well known for their love of food. Mine would prefer a new toy over a treat any time. It's also amazing how dogs that are known for destroying toys are less likely to do so if play with them.
You got me thinking right there. You're right, spoiling is equivalent to killing faster as much as "spoiled" means "damaged" or "rotten". Whether human or other animals, it is never good.
I work at a vet and this one guy feeds his labs McDonald's regularly and they are the most obese labs I have EVER seen. It's really sad and frustrating.

16:50 The moment harry the parrot moved his tongue and realized, "oh wait, I don't feel the bell anymore, the catching monster removed it I guess" Dr. Chris😍
Pretty sure he was just panting. Birds pant like dogs with their tongues if they’re overheated, stressed etc. My Ringneck does that when he doesn’t wanna go to his cage for bed and flies around for 10 minutes before he gives up.
Birds like this actually can fall in love with their owners. It happens more often than ud think however it's usually not to the point that they're so in love with you they hurt themselves when you're away.
That’s very true. I remember seeing a show where the owners of a cockatiel had to move, and where they were going, pets were not allowed so they ended up giving the bird to an animal sanctuary. The bird became very depressed, refusing to eat and died of a broken heart. It was one of the saddest shows on animals that I’ve ever watched.
@Muhammad Khan I think if they are in a supportive environment to move on with life. I have a pet lorikeet. He stopped eating once his partner died. Started self mutilating and feather plucking. It took a lot of effort for him to get over grief. I'm not saying they die all the time. I'm just saying it happens more often than you think.
Bro my dad has tackled a full grown emu and he had to grab it by the leg 5yr old me was laughing so hard because he was just being dragged around on the floor 😂
When they found the other eggs, all I could think of was Jurassic Park (these birds look like dinosaurs! Real life ones!). She lured them in with a single egg in plain sight and then AMBUSH! haha... Anyone else getting Steve Irwin vibes from Tim?? 🥰
You’re correct, it’s also why he’s masturbating on the mans arm. I’ll bet if the woman is doing it her husband is also doing it. They’ve triggered his hormones now he’s all randy and doesn’t know what to do with himself.
Yes, I pet my parrot but on the head. People like this make me mad 😠 they don't do any research before they get a parrot. They are more complex than ppl realize
@@GeorgiaGeorgette Yes. We worked with all sorts of birds at a rescue/rehab center (lots of raptors), a small animal vet, and a wild animal hospital. First thing is a towel put slowly over their face/head (they don't move at all.) Then a gloved hand to hold the feet and it went smooth as silk. You could easily tip them on their backs for radiographs. Domestic bird, let it walk to a corner, gently but quickly "toss" a light towel on top of it. No movement from the bird.
Okay so, I was looking up about cassowaries. Apparently the females have no part in raising the chicks at all. They lay the eggs and then bugger off to lay eggs elsewhere by other males 😂 the dad incubates the eggs (which takes about 50 days) and raises them until they are around 9 months of age 😊❤
@@kathrynblair8845 I imagine the bread was for the birds, but they kept calling it lunch over and over, making sure they had something for them to "take"
Yeah, it’s sad to see cause she obviously loves him but she’s committing just about every sin in the parrot keeping book and it’s obviously showing in the poor little guy.
The cassowary one cracked me up. “Oh the female wants to mate” lets let the male in. Most zoos takes months of talk and debate to decide if they want a pair of animals to mate. Guess it’s our Aussie laidback attitude lmao
Thats not really how i interpreted it.. They had waited for her to become reproductively ready, they had her for 5 years. Also there is only like 1000 of the species left. Of course they want to let them breed if possible.
I love that you Australians are so conscious animals wellbeing & appreciate them & the environment. I wish more countries would adopt your attitude about nature & animals. Australia was used as a "penal colony" by the English crown yet I feel that citizens there have better values in certain areas vs the royals who decided to drop off the British citizens in an unknown & vast wilderness. Bravo to you & the other Aussies for appreciating the flora & fauna of your country.
My grandmother had a little canary that loved her. He would sing every time he saw her. On bath day the kitchen table was covered with newspaper and he would spend the afternoon splashing and flying. He loved to perch on the curtains and chatter at grandmother. He never pooped where he shouldn't. If he did his freedom would be over.
If people have birds they need to be prepared for bird poo. It isn't fair to stop a bird having time out of the cage just because they poo somewhere else.
I can't concentrate on any of the stories! The doctor is an absolute vision of perfection! I mean seriously! Blonde, blue-eyed, tall, handsome... his eyes match his aqua shirt for Christ's sake! How can anybody concentrate!
@@anxqel Awesome! Since then I've adopted a third one, because the breeder couldn't handle his injury, so now there's three. Dawn, the yellowish one is actually an opaline greywing, Iris of course is the wild variation and our newest addition, Scrooge McFluff, is a lutino half English boy. What about your flock, what are their names?
@@specialbudgies4217 Aww I totally wish I could get a third. My two little munchkins are called Sunny and Pickles(Real original I know). Sunny is a Latino variation and I don't know much about Pickles, I think he's just your average green, they're English Budgies, so the larger angry looking kind but they're still pretty young so they aren't angry yet
Wow watching the one guy talk about the dinosaur looking birds trying to see if they would mate, is very interesting. Like the bird seriously looks like the last dinosaur. And I’m not sure of everyone’s names, but the guy reminds me of Steve Irwin.. this is for sure my new favorite channel!
I can trim my parrots claws and beak with 0 stress... then she lets me use an emery board on her beak to clean it up a bit and remove old growth. I am only allowed to do this after many years of trust built up between us.
Having an endangered species like the cassowary wanting to mate in a zoo without human intervention is incredibly rare. Even so, its wonderful that the cassowary as a species will add some more animals to their endangered status because of this zoo.
It is almost every time the same with sick birds. Bad diet, they are kept alone and people are just totally clueless about what it takes to keep a bird happy and healthy. You should not get a parrot, if you can not care for it propperly!
Pets have psychological needs. Parrots need lots of attention. The parrot knows Harry doesn’t like him. He’s competing with Harry for Christine’s attention. Only one male in this house!
@@allaselboskar5767 Animals that require hard care, be it because of danger from the animal or for the animal, are already often regulated around the world and require licensing. That doesn't stop people from being abusive. You just make another crime that warants a fine, instead of enforcing actual crack downs in case of bad care. I don't have a license but any pet I've had has had regular appointments with a specialised vet, the first of which is to finetune husbandry after long periods of thinking and researching the animal before even getting it. A gigantic amount of petshops have licenses and still mistreat animals on an industrial scale. Good treatment of pets is about research and listening to a vet, not getting a paper from a 10 hour class.
Most people who get pets are clueless. You can't just point out bird owners... how many dog owners know Aconitum. Amaryllis bulbs. Asparagus fern. Azalea. Bluebells. Cyclamen. Daffodil bulbs. Day lilies. To name a few, are plants that can harm your dogs?
@@DatBeautifulNightmare yeah but information for other animals is available everywhere with birds its much harder. the thing is even the breeders cant give good informations about the birds .. some do just a few. the breeders should be more active on this plus more information on the pets in general
.... submarine duckling..... It's so sweet. Poor men have to walk through dirty, filthy water. Good for mummy duck and ducklings to come to a clean place. Thanks for that. Ashley ranch : I fully agree !!!
Those emus were like thinking “I’m as fast as sonic!” “You can’t catch me!” 😂 they were like zooming and they were like you can’t catch me I’m the ginger bread man 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣jeez they make me laugh i
Ok a lot of problems with the bird CLEARLY: 1) The diet the lady is keeping him on, or in her words "spoiling him" with, is VERY high in fat... All that... Will lead to a lot of health problems in the bird. 2) the moment the lady takes him she stokes ALL THE WAY down his body... It is common bird care knowledge that no matter how much you love a bird you should know the boundaries. The only area that you should pet/stroke is the head and neck area. Back, wings, stomach etc.... All these will lead to the bird getting hormonal... And as seen with this bird leads to aggresion. 3) bad handling, the reason why the bird is being aggressive towards the man is not just because he is jealous/hormonal, but also because the bird does not trust him in any way. The man is moving his hand around vigorously making the bird lose its balance, try to make the bird feel safe with you... Please. In conclusion.... That family IS NOT SUITABLE to have a bird... That bird is slowly being KILLED... either they stop that outright torture that they call "spoiling" or they learn and take to the good bird care methods that can be easily researched on the internet.
@MajorGalah I was able to contain myself until she brought out the bottle of champagne. Chris was good humored as always but I'm sure he had some firm words when the camera was off.
@@Skyslayerstar read the last paragraph.... I did give room for growth... And honestly after seeing the woman's personality... I dont think there is room for growth... It would be a miracle even if she is constantly following the advice chris gave. Not to mention actually searching up good bird care by herself....
A vet that has never seen a bird be sexually frustrated?... Huh? also I would has a guess and say a more variety of diet for the Eckie to include fruits and veggies wouldn't go astray lol
Ikr! I was like: I can spend 5 minutes on the internet and stumble across a bird attempting to shag it's owner, perch, or favourite toy. Hell, I have several friends with over attached budgies/lorikeets XD
Yeah, that had me really scratching my head, I almost wish I never watched this video because the opening scene pissed me off so badly. Is the man not an avian vet, just a regular vet?
@@pandap4ntz Most birds are seen as "exotics" & are treated by a specialist and not general vets. Giving him anxiety meds won't do anything when she's still touching him, giving him seed which is high in fats & promotes breeding behavioir, and is territorial. Meds may help when she's left the house, but he'll still have issues. And I ain't even a vet.
I know, I was amazed by the vets ignorance, hormonal Eccles are pretty common, much like it’s treatment / management, and it’s NOT straight to Prozac.... I guess this helps me to appreciate there’s a bloody good a reason I’m $200 poorer for the booking fee alone, whenever I take my eccy to see his knowledgeable, experienced, reliable (and really expensive!!!) AVIAN vet
@@alexlow5192 oh, I'm so glad. Usually birds that have plucked to such a degree (that patch on his back was fully bald!!) don't get their feathers back if they've damaged the follicles. I'm glad he got a bit better, though I sincerely hope they've stopped sexually arousing their bird and have done research and implemented a much healthier diet for an eclectus..
Not for nothing, but that woman's husband is also like, flinging his hand right in the birds face, that has to be terrifying too. No wonder he's so mad.
Im good at catching birds mid air (i have alot of birds that live in an aviary) but its a hard thing to do right and that clip of Chris catching the ringneck. Great catch!!! You have to catch the body, not the head, or legs or wings or tail, the body and he did and didnt let go despite the bites!
By the introduction alone, I deduced that the original source of this aggression is the way that the lady is touching the bird. You're not supposed to touch birds below the neck or it may trigger a hormonal state that causes the bird to emotionally fuse to one individual and try to stave off any others. But, being that this bird has been in this hormonal state for such a long time, it's psychologically taking a toll on him. Hence the feather plucking. I'm sure that lady has been touching him below the neck since he was obtained.
Wow! Very interesting video. The Emu roundup was wild. Those legs are all muscle. Was wondering why they did not drive the truck closer? Maybe no access. Naughty birds. 😳😆
I think the reason why the first bird was in love with it's owner, was because the lady kept stroking it's back. That's how birds tell each other that they want to mate. Never pet your birds back, just pet around the head.
She is giving her bird the worst case of blue balls multiple times a day and she is wondering why he is self mutilating due to consistent frustrations.
If what she showed is all the bird eats it definitely doesn't help. I mean where's his greens? His veggies? What the heck lady?
100%. That's also why he sees her husband as competition.
Exactly right

Anyone else getting Steve Irwin vibes from Tim?? 🥰
I agree the first time I saw a wild Cassawary at the local zoo thst is! I THOUGHT PREHISTORIC! Giant bird
ive read its bad to pet a parrots back and stomach as its a mating thing and will confuse the bird which is probably why hes aggressive
You’re correct, it’s also why he’s masturbating on the mans arm. I’ll bet if the woman is doing it her husband is also doing it. They’ve triggered his hormones now he’s all randy and doesn’t know what to do with himself.
Yes, I pet my parrot but on the head. People like this make me mad 😠 they don't do any research before they get a parrot. They are more complex than ppl realize
“It’s the submarine duck” 😂😂😂😂😂
It was adorable 🥰
Australians just keep losing fights to emus lol
I laughed so hard when they hugged and Harry was just fuming.
Dr.Chris’ reaction to seeing the little submarine duck for the first time had me dying 🤣🤣🤣 his reaction was so cute and the ducks were adorable
"It reduces the stress level."
Ambushes and subdues bird with towel.
He should have wrapped the bird immediately and not let it get that stressed to begin with.
@@GeorgiaGeorgette Yes. We worked with all sorts of birds at a rescue/rehab center (lots of raptors), a small animal vet, and a wild animal hospital.
First thing is a towel put slowly over their face/head (they don't move at all.) Then a gloved hand to hold the feet and it went smooth as silk. You could easily tip them on their backs for radiographs. Domestic bird, let it walk to a corner, gently but quickly "toss" a light towel on top of it. No movement from the bird.
Okay so, I was looking up about cassowaries. Apparently the females have no part in raising the chicks at all. They lay the eggs and then bugger off to lay eggs elsewhere by other males 😂 the dad incubates the eggs (which takes about 50 days) and raises them until they are around 9 months of age 😊❤
The seahorses of giant scary birds
The cassowaries were fascinating! I didn't expect the eggs to be green.
I know, right!? All I could think of was green eggs and ham by doctor Seuss🤣
"let's get a bird dog for our bird' 😅 That relationship is gonna go well.
Hahaha I thought the same thing.
I like how all those people's "lunch" was two pieces of bread pressed together with absolutely nothing else. Good thing it's not staged, huh?
😂
That’s because it’s the birds food and the children aren’t smart enough to clue into it
@@kathrynblair8845 I imagine the bread was for the birds, but they kept calling it lunch over and over, making sure they had something for them to "take"
I don’t think the bird’s staging anything tho
Lmao! I was thinking, what the Hell, are you only allowed to eat sandwiches in the park there? 😁
The Australian Reptile Park has a very broad definition of "reptiles."
Birds & reptiles are cousins :)
The also have mammals, such as Tasmanian devils
I love my Quaker parrot even though he doesn't :)
Although birds are cousins, my brain instantly went - they do keep saying reptile right? haha
@@Somedude20282 birds are reptiles doe
Omg I had chills on my body when I saw his feathers puff up like that 😳
The First Lady is an absolute hoot but she’s killing him slowly
Yeah, it’s sad to see cause she obviously loves him but she’s committing just about every sin in the parrot keeping book and it’s obviously showing in the poor little guy.
The cassowary one cracked me up. “Oh the female wants to mate” lets let the male in. Most zoos takes months of talk and debate to decide if they want a pair of animals to mate. Guess it’s our Aussie laidback attitude lmao
Probably cause they are going extinct so they take the chance whenever.
Thats not really how i interpreted it.. They had waited for her to become reproductively ready, they had her for 5 years. Also there is only like 1000 of the species left. Of course they want to let them breed if possible.
I love that you Australians are so conscious animals wellbeing & appreciate them & the environment. I wish more countries would adopt your attitude about nature & animals. Australia was used as a "penal colony" by the English crown yet I feel that citizens there have better values in certain areas vs the royals who decided to drop off the British citizens in an unknown & vast wilderness. Bravo to you & the other Aussies for appreciating the flora & fauna of your country.
Bravo Australia! The care & compassion you feel for the animals there is truly amazing.
The submarine duckling was so cute
This guy wrangling the Emus is so Australian. I love it.
The Great Emu War 2.0
My grandmother had a little canary that loved her. He would sing every time he saw her. On bath day the kitchen table was covered with newspaper and he would spend the afternoon splashing and flying. He loved to perch on the curtains and chatter at grandmother. He never pooped where he shouldn't. If he did his freedom would be over.
If people have birds they need to be prepared for bird poo. It isn't fair to stop a bird having time out of the cage just because they poo somewhere else.
@@GeorgiaGeorgette being a farmer grandmother was familiar with poo, just not in her house. That little canary was very smart and knew the rules.
I love your story of your dear sweet Grandmother and her precious canary. Bath day was a fun time and I know that they all enjoyed it very much.
Me too!
Yes me too but it's was just the opposite, my canaries had a little grandmother!
Emu thug squad...😂 Amazing green coloured eggs of the Cassowary....eagerly waiting for the hatching of the fertilized eggs.
Right when they put the thermometer where it needs to be, watch the bird! Its like “YOU LET ME BITE THAT? *dies inside*” 😂
omg i’m on the same meds as a bird lmao
Same for anxiety
😂😂I need to get that for myself and my dog 😂
My dog and I were on the same anxiety meds once.
Hey me too lol. I legit didn't know that animals could take that lol
😂😂😂 you're not alone
24:22 Whoa, that duckling's a speedy little bugger! 🐤💨
I can't concentrate on any of the stories! The doctor is an absolute vision of perfection! I mean seriously! Blonde, blue-eyed, tall, handsome... his eyes match his aqua shirt for Christ's sake! How can anybody concentrate!
The forever war between the Australian and the emu
My respect to the vet for going into that pool he truly loves animals
As a bird mom, that woman infuriates me. She obviously did very little research
Did you see the cockatiels in those tiny round cages? Jeez
@@specialbudgies4217 I did, really sad. Oh hey! You're budgies look the same as my two :D
@@anxqel Awesome! Since then I've adopted a third one, because the breeder couldn't handle his injury, so now there's three. Dawn, the yellowish one is actually an opaline greywing, Iris of course is the wild variation and our newest addition, Scrooge McFluff, is a lutino half English boy. What about your flock, what are their names?
@@specialbudgies4217 Aww I totally wish I could get a third. My two little munchkins are called Sunny and Pickles(Real original I know). Sunny is a Latino variation and I don't know much about Pickles, I think he's just your average green, they're English Budgies, so the larger angry looking kind but they're still pretty young so they aren't angry yet
Yeah, you need to know what you're doing if you're going to have birds. They are a HUGE responsibility. I know enough to know I can't manage that.
When Chris brought out the Prosac that just got me I laughed out loud.
No way I would be catching Emu's.
Chris is a great parrot wrangler.
"Uncle Chris is an amazing bird grabber."
Wow watching the one guy talk about the dinosaur looking birds trying to see if they would mate, is very interesting. Like the bird seriously looks like the last dinosaur. And I’m not sure of everyone’s names, but the guy reminds me of Steve Irwin.. this is for sure my new favorite channel!
The guy is Tim Faulkner :) Extremely dedicated to the animals in the zoo, with a treasure box of knowledge on probably all of them.
Sounds like he was gonna kidnap the ducklings when he said come to uncle Chris good friend of you Mom's
I’m pretty sure the grunting of the emus translates to, DUDE I USED TO BE A DINOSAUR PUT ME DOWN
I love how they got outsmarted by a baby duck. 😂😂
“Cuddle me, mate”. Best emu catching tip
I've never seen someone grab and carry an emu before haha
I can trim my parrots claws and beak with 0 stress... then she lets me use an emery board on her beak to clean it up a bit and remove old growth. I am only allowed to do this after many years of trust built up between us.
im sorry but seeing chris kneeling down on the ground and being the same height as John on the couch!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Having an endangered species like the cassowary wanting to mate in a zoo without human intervention is incredibly rare. Even so, its wonderful that the cassowary as a species will add some more animals to their endangered status because of this zoo.
I like how he just casually snatch the pair it with the bell on his bike out of the air.
It is almost every time the same with sick birds. Bad diet, they are kept alone and people are just totally clueless about what it takes to keep a bird happy and healthy. You should not get a parrot, if you can not care for it propperly!
That goes for any animal. People really need to know what a makes a pet happy, and be villing to provide that before getting said pet!
Pets have psychological needs. Parrots need lots of attention. The parrot knows Harry doesn’t like him. He’s competing with Harry for Christine’s attention. Only one male in this house!
Are you a vet or something? All people have to do is research. Like god damn it
@@caitlynskiramman Research God?
@@mariekatherine5238 LOL no I should have worded that better Lamo.
I am in shock at how abusively clueless this woman is about birds... This is why I think bird owners need to be licensed.
I think all pet owners should be licensed so you can be more certain they will treat their pets correctly
Animals get harmed by ignorant people. Sad but true.
@@allaselboskar5767 Animals that require hard care, be it because of danger from the animal or for the animal, are already often regulated around the world and require licensing. That doesn't stop people from being abusive. You just make another crime that warants a fine, instead of enforcing actual crack downs in case of bad care. I don't have a license but any pet I've had has had regular appointments with a specialised vet, the first of which is to finetune husbandry after long periods of thinking and researching the animal before even getting it. A gigantic amount of petshops have licenses and still mistreat animals on an industrial scale. Good treatment of pets is about research and listening to a vet, not getting a paper from a 10 hour class.
Most people who get pets are clueless. You can't just point out bird owners... how many dog owners know
Aconitum.
Amaryllis bulbs.
Asparagus fern.
Azalea.
Bluebells.
Cyclamen.
Daffodil bulbs.
Day lilies.
To name a few, are plants that can harm your dogs?
@@DatBeautifulNightmare yeah but information for other animals is available everywhere with birds its much harder. the thing is even the breeders cant give good informations about the birds .. some do just a few. the breeders should be more active on this plus more information on the pets in general
who here agrees Chris is the heart throb here!!!🙋♀️🥰🥰
.... submarine duckling.....
It's so sweet.
Poor men have to walk through dirty, filthy water. Good for mummy duck and ducklings to come to a clean place.
Thanks for that.
Ashley ranch : I fully agree !!!
@ashley ranch.....Naw! The bird has prettier feathers!!
I used to think so, but his attitude to that fan painting that he sent to Lisa chimes as a ‘joke’ rubbed me the wrong way. Now I’m a Scott fan.
Those emus were like thinking “I’m as fast as sonic!” “You can’t catch me!” 😂 they were like zooming and they were like you can’t catch me I’m the ginger bread man 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣jeez they make me laugh i
Chris(I think): Harry does not like being held
Meanwhile Harry: *Having full on tantrum*
The emus are hilarious 😆
The friendship...was there ever one? Belly laugh.
He pulled out the Prozac and I was like: Hey! I take those.
her husband said, "it's either him or me" 😂😂😂
Ok a lot of problems with the bird CLEARLY:
1) The diet the lady is keeping him on, or in her words "spoiling him" with, is VERY high in fat... All that... Will lead to a lot of health problems in the bird.
2) the moment the lady takes him she stokes ALL THE WAY down his body... It is common bird care knowledge that no matter how much you love a bird you should know the boundaries. The only area that you should pet/stroke is the head and neck area. Back, wings, stomach etc.... All these will lead to the bird getting hormonal... And as seen with this bird leads to aggresion.
3) bad handling, the reason why the bird is being aggressive towards the man is not just because he is jealous/hormonal, but also because the bird does not trust him in any way. The man is moving his hand around vigorously making the bird lose its balance, try to make the bird feel safe with you... Please.
In conclusion.... That family IS NOT SUITABLE to have a bird... That bird is slowly being KILLED... either they stop that outright torture that they call "spoiling" or they learn and take to the good bird care methods that can be easily researched on the internet.
@takesone2knowone there are already books on bird care... And im not that good at English so 😂
@MajorGalah I was able to contain myself until she brought out the bottle of champagne. Chris was good humored as always but I'm sure he had some firm words when the camera was off.
Honestly the owners are mental
That doesn't mean they are unsuitable. It just means they don't know better. Stop cutting the value out of people completely and give room for growth
@@Skyslayerstar read the last paragraph.... I did give room for growth... And honestly after seeing the woman's personality... I dont think there is room for growth... It would be a miracle even if she is constantly following the advice chris gave. Not to mention actually searching up good bird care by herself....
New Animal Planet series:
"It's Me Or The Bird."
Incredible to see the cassowaries together! Hope for the species xx
18:04 LOL SHE FLIPPED THEM OFF AND TURNED HER BACK 😭💀
The first lady is a riot!! I love her!!
A vet that has never seen a bird be sexually frustrated?... Huh? also I would has a guess and say a more variety of diet for the Eckie to include fruits and veggies wouldn't go astray lol
Ikr! I was like: I can spend 5 minutes on the internet and stumble across a bird attempting to shag it's owner, perch, or favourite toy. Hell, I have several friends with over attached budgies/lorikeets XD
I've seen it with people I know who have birds. Not even the internet. It's really common and I'm not a vet.
Yeah, that had me really scratching my head, I almost wish I never watched this video because the opening scene pissed me off so badly. Is the man not an avian vet, just a regular vet?
@@pandap4ntz Most birds are seen as "exotics" & are treated by a specialist and not general vets. Giving him anxiety meds won't do anything when she's still touching him, giving him seed which is high in fats & promotes breeding behavioir, and is territorial. Meds may help when she's left the house, but he'll still have issues.
And I ain't even a vet.
I know, I was amazed by the vets ignorance, hormonal Eccles are pretty common, much like it’s treatment / management, and it’s NOT straight to Prozac.... I guess this helps me to appreciate there’s a bloody good a reason I’m $200 poorer for the booking fee alone, whenever I take my eccy to see his knowledgeable, experienced, reliable (and really expensive!!!) AVIAN vet
So what happened to Harry the parrot that was self-mutilating himself by pulling out his feathers? Did he heal??
He did
@@alexlow5192 oh, I'm so glad. Usually birds that have plucked to such a degree (that patch on his back was fully bald!!) don't get their feathers back if they've damaged the follicles. I'm glad he got a bit better, though I sincerely hope they've stopped sexually arousing their bird and have done research and implemented a much healthier diet for an eclectus..
Chris really had to pop out " Come to uncle Chris, good friend of your mothers " XDD
Slow down vidio
The kidnapper's favourite line
Not for nothing, but that woman's husband is also like, flinging his hand right in the birds face, that has to be terrifying too. No wonder he's so mad.
Who was gonna tell me emus sound like dinosaurs? Or was I just meant to find that out myself?
That’s cool as anything!
Right?! I thought the same thi g and laughed so hard when I heard it
I love this guy. The story of blue bell really broke my heart and got me watching. He really knows his stuff
When the lady said the bird doesn't want to make love to her I was thinking "Oh yes he does!" What dominance!
Alison & Audrey are a great team! Those little animal patients get the pampering they deserve.
I KNEW the vet was going to pull Prozac out for that parrot!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Never knew Australians eat plain bread sandwiches! 😅
We don’t idk wtf they are doing 😂
@@Julia-gq9ep I think they're eating the poor bird's treat! 🤣
One thing I've always heard is that when it's emus versus people: the emus always win.
Im good at catching birds mid air (i have alot of birds that live in an aviary) but its a hard thing to do right and that clip of Chris catching the ringneck. Great catch!!! You have to catch the body, not the head, or legs or wings or tail, the body and he did and didnt let go despite the bites!
When I read the title my brain just immediately went to parrots that have learned to swear at people
Wow! The eggs of the cassowary are incredible! Huge, the beautiful colour...wow! Those birds are fascinating!
all his feathers came up when the husband hugged her...wow
By the introduction alone, I deduced that the original source of this aggression is the way that the lady is touching the bird.
You're not supposed to touch birds below the neck or it may trigger a hormonal state that causes the bird to emotionally fuse to one individual and try to stave off any others.
But, being that this bird has been in this hormonal state for such a long time, it's psychologically taking a toll on him. Hence the feather plucking.
I'm sure that lady has been touching him below the neck since he was obtained.
Alternate title - *Handsome Squidward deals with birb and more*
I love the way their heads follow the direction the decide to run. Kind of like a dragging motion, it makes them appear zANyyyy! Good job boys!
Omg the submarine duckling was hilarious... "I'm friends with your mother" lol
chris is hilarious and I wish more people talked about that 😭 he kills me
12:38
When Tim holds them like that they really do look like dinosaurs, especially with those sounds they make
I love Tim! He's so passionate about the animals!
DUCKLINGS: Glad they were rescued and placed in a suitable environment but it's sad the 4th one wasn't there 😭. Very cute animals.
Wow! Very interesting video. The Emu roundup was wild. Those legs are all muscle. Was wondering why they did not drive the truck closer? Maybe no access. Naughty birds. 😳😆
i never would expect it to be funny watching emus fight against humans
The Vet's and staff are just amazing!! God bless from the Great Dane Grandma in Michigan.
I was like leave the lovebirds alone to do their thing!

That's entertainment.

"the 3 emus, yeah the rat pack" got me on the floor
Next time have the bird facing downwards or sideways so it doesn't swallow the object duhhh
